Miley Cyrus' Foam Twerk Finger is Almost Sold Out Online

Replicas of the same foam finger Miley Cyrus wore during her performance with Robin Thicke at the 2013 MTV VMA last month have popped up online, and are almost sold out, this according to Racked.

The first of the two stores on Amazon selling the foam finger has the item listed at the "Twerking Twerk Dance Foam Finger." And there's no mistaking the $10 accessory is an imitation of Cyrus' foam finger. The description reads: "Drop some jaws and raise more than just eyebrows with this outrageous foam finger, a replica of a certain former teeny-bopper's from a certain scandalous award show performance. We know you want it."

The second shop, Trendy+Hip, outright calls it the "Miley Cyrus Foam Twerk Finger" and says it's "great for Halloween." According to the site, there's only one left in stock. And apparently, customers are really, really happy with the product. Comments like this can be found in the Customer Review section:

What would Steve Chmelar, the foam finger inventor, himself say about all this? Well, let's just say he hasn't been too thrilled about Cyrus' use of the accessory. Following the singer's performance, Chmelar told Fox Newsthat the former Disney star "took an honorable icon that is seen in sporting venues everywhere and degraded it."

"Fortunately, the foam finger has been around long enough that it will survive this incident. As for Miley Cyrus, let's hope she can outlive this event and also survive," he said.
